The framework

STAGE.A visibility system, not a vibe.

STAGE is the proprietary five-part framework Stage Africa Media & Advisory has used with senior African women leaders and communicators. Frontstage is how you live in it month after month.

S
Stage 1

Story

The throughline of your work, told in your voice — not the org's.

T
Stage 2

Track record

An evidence layer that compounds. Wins logged, surfaced, and reused.

A
Stage 3

Audience

The specific rooms — buyers, boards, press, peers — your name needs to land in.

G
Stage 4

Generosity

Visibility that opens doors for the women behind you. The flywheel.

E
Stage 5

Edge

The point of view only you can hold. Sharpened in public, not in private.
